john-okeefe 7274b5196c docs(user): update appearance/profile instructions for sidebar UI

- Theme switching lives in the sidebar's Appearance panel (palette
  icon): swatch list with a checkmark on the active theme, and the
  'Bookshelf' section below it for wood textures; on small screens the
  sidebar opens via the top-bar menu button
- Profile: account menu is the username accordion at the bottom of the
  sidebar (not top-right); save button is 'Save Changes'
- Remove Wood Light/Dark/Mahogany from the Available Themes list (they
  are bookshelf backgrounds, not color themes) and consolidate the
  Catppuccin variants

Themes and Wood Paneling

Color Themes

Bookhoard includes multiple color themes to suit your preferences:

Tokyo Night (default) - Dark blue/purple tones
Dracula - Dark purple accent colors
Nord - Arctic, bluish-gray colors
Solarized Dark - Precision contrast for readability
Monokai - Dark theme with vibrant accents
One Dark Pro - Atom's favorite theme
Material Dark - Material Design dark theme
Catppuccin Mocha - Soothing pastel dark theme
Catppuccin Macchiato - Warm mid-tone theme
Catppuccin Frappé - Frothy cool tones
Catppuccin Latte - Warm light theme

Changing Your Theme

In the sidebar, open the Appearance panel (palette icon, near the bottom)
Pick a theme from the list — each option shows its color swatch, and your active theme is marked with a checkmark
Your choice is saved automatically and synced across devices

On small screens, open the sidebar with the menu button in the top bar first.

Wood Paneling

Wood paneling adds texture to your dashboard bookshelf background, giving it a classic bookshelf feel.

Available Wood Textures

None (default) - Solid color background
Wood Light - Light oak/birch texture
Wood Dark - Dark walnut/mahogany texture
Wood Mahogany - Reddish-brown mahogany texture

Applying Wood Paneling

In the sidebar, open the Appearance panel (palette icon, near the bottom)
Scroll to the Bookshelf section below the theme list
Select your preferred wood texture (each option shows a texture swatch; None is the default)
Texture is applied to the dashboard bookshelf background

Note: Wood paneling is a browser preference and is not synced across devices.

Tips

Wood textures work best with darker color themes (Tokyo Night, Nord, etc.)
Light wood pairs well with light themes (Catppuccin Latte)
Wood paneling only affects the dashboard bookshelf area
